WWII - Sicily.... On
May 31, 1993, the USPS issued a set of ten stamps commemorating the
50th Anniversary of ten different events of 1943 during WWII. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the stamp commemorating the Allied Invasion of Sicily cancelled from the city of issue (Washington DC) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The color cachet
(artwork on the envelope) features a drawing of Allied tanks in the
streets of Sicily. Printed on silk and 'framed' with an embossed gold
border, this cachet adds to the value of this collectible, historic piece of WWII memorabilia highlighting the Atlantic Theater.
Double matted in blue and white, this piece is sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included*** |
